Undergraduate Research
The best way to understand science is to do science! Biology majors are encouraged to seek out opportunities to participate in research to enhance their education. This may take the form of joining a research group and assisting in ongoing projects, developing a thesis project and working with a mentor to accomplish your goals, or participating in one of the course-based research experiences (CURES) that are offered as part of the curriculum.
Another avenue is to take advantage of the many summer research programs that are offered, such as the Baylor B-TRUE program or one of many national programs.
The Office of Engaged Learning offers support and resources to help undergraduates find a research opportunity. A list of some of the external programs may be found here.
